Locally trained three-year-olds Jukebox and Crown Witness are likely to be at the top of the final field betting on the Blue Sapphire Stakes but have had contrasting fortunes after drawing barriers 10 and one respectively.

Caulfield Guineas-winning trainer Mick Price will attempt to notch another feature success with Lone Eagle while Indian Thunder will carry the hopes of the powerful Darren Weir stable.

Kiwi galloper Summer Passage will shoot for a consolation win after missing last Saturday's Caulfield Guineas while the Lindsay Park team will have smart filly Formality running for it on Wednesday.

The field for the Blue Sapphire Stakes is below:

No	Horse	Trainer	Jockey	Barrier	Weight
